Week 51! Rhinestone Eyes, unfortunately it's end of term for University at the moment and i have NO time! Which is why the last few weeks have been non existent and why this week is a repeat...All will pick up soon! Promise!

It's a shame that the music video for this wasn't finished, but something about it being in storyboard lets the viewer imagine the movement themselves, and it also makes the music video have some charm to it, it stands out from the other ones.

The video definitely has a lot of action and motion in it, but if it were created now, maybe some stuff would be different about it than what the viewers imagine, like the characters being CGI again, like in Stylo and Do ya Thing. (Which isn't a bad thing, I just don't imagine them being CGI for this particular video.)

I think if I had a choice, I'd keep the video in storyboard form.
It gives the track more originality.

And speaking of the track, the way Damon's vocals stretch out and sound seems to empathize the "plastic" feeling of the song.
Have you ever heard the instrumental? Look it up, because it sounds amazing, especially at the chorus.

All in all, I'd say that this track is one of the top tracks in the Plastic Beach album.

It was the first song that really struck out to me the first time I listened to Plastic Beach, start to finish. It has since become my favourite Gorillaz song. Damon's voice really shines through, the simple melancholic tune Gorillaz is known for is so clear in this song. I love it and I'm sad that they never got to make the music video.

Hi there. It seems you're sad. I can't tell if you're messing around or you're serious, but if you need someone to talk to, my master is always available for a chat. Either way, I hope you feel better soon! Have a hug! (っ'з')っ

He's always said he hopes to have it out in the first half of 2014, in which case he has four weeks ;) He mentioned in a recent update that he's been insanely busy though so progress has been set back a bit. I'd guess it'll be some time in Autumn.

This song touches the most prominent theme in plastic beach which is fakeness (plastic, rhinestones). To be more precise, I believe that this song is about contemplating a fake world and being overwhelmed by it.

This overwhelming is present in the references to stillness (I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower, prayed on the immovable, my heart is frozen...). He is depressed and paralyzed by all the fakeness surrounding him.

My favourite element in this song is the way Damon sings it. The voice really conveys the depressed state of mind referred by the song. Both in the intonation and the way each verse sort of "decays".
